Under ebps/environment/art_ambient/objects/buildings I put the tent down on my map. In game this shows up as some strange arrows on the minimap when my men run near them. Does anyone know what is going on? If it is not the tent, than it is firewood_burning that is causing this phenomenon.
Strange arrows?

Well I just had a quick look. I only tested the tent with no fire so I would assume it isn't the fire. I can tell you that the icon is the one you usually see when you have a unit inside a building. Though why it shows up as that on the mini map I have no explanation for that.

Ah ok. Well I was mostly curious but making sure that I had not added something which effected the resources or something weird. Thanks for checking up.

I'm having the same issue with some buildings on a map I'm making.
Does anyone know how to fix/avoid this? Or do certain building models just have this bug? Not only does the arrow show up on the mini map as if units are garrisoned but once either team has been inside a building it will remain as if they are still garrisoned inside and the other team cannot enter the building, also causes AI to waste time attacking empty buildings.
Any fixes for this?

Not sure what buildings your talking about, further info on the actual buildings would help.
I'm not aware of any fixes for this. A quick solution would be not to use them, but if your insistent on them as a design choice I'll see if I can get someone to answer that for you.

Sorry you're right that would have been useful information!
I am using the majority of the Reichstag and Lublin castle buildings to create a palace, the palace is complete and is looking really good but with this bug it has put a massive hold on the maps completion.
Any help would be great

Ok, they're not strange arrows. They're the icon for when you have a squad garrisoned in there.
- Select the buildings that have the issue or just the entire building structure
- CTRL + G and name it eg_minimapbuildings
- Open text editor (notepad++ is the best for scar stuff) and paste:
Code
function OnInit()
EGroup_EnableMinimapIndicator(eg_minimapbuildings, 0)
end
Scar_AddInit(OnInit)
- Save as <mapname>.scar in your map folder
- Export your map
Issues with this, normally when you enter a building there should be a garrison icon on the minimap, this hides it forever so even when you do have a squad in there.
You could fix this by only calling this function when there are no squads in the building but that is out of my limited scar capabilities

Sweet, I figured there would be a fix, for the icon error.
Though I'm still not sure about, it being a total fix. The more troubling part I'm not sure how to fix is I noticed that upon entering and leaving certain buildings. The Reichstag being one of them that the Entities converted to player owned and didn't revert to world owned entities after you exit. I'll keep searching for an answer for you on this though.

a total fix is to change the attribute in the attribute editor, the downside is that the map will only play properly with that mod enabled.
My advice: make the palace destroyed or disable the ability to hold troops. These buildings dont have proper doors anyway

Hi and thanks for the replies! I've been away with work so sorry for late response.
Yes I think it's going to be better to design it as a ruined/destroyed palace instead. Going to get to work on that today

How do I disable the ability to hold troops by the way?

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
